Props to Blake Schilling, Director of Event Services at Nationwide Arena. I emailed Arena management asking about some of the technological shortcomings of Nationwide Arena and what plans were in the works to fix them. I received an email back in 5 minutes asking for my phone number. Within 30 minutes of that I got a call from him laying out a lot of their plans and talks that have been in the works. Apparently within the next 2 years, there is supposed to be a new scoreboard and new seats. Still no date for new HDTV video in the hallways or public WiFi.

A new scoreboard is sorely needed, Ive been to many an away arena and the new, larger Hi-Def scoreboards are fantastic!! But whats wrong with the seats? A second electronic display band around the arena would be better! Many of the arenas have those and there are a lot of operations the in-game folks can do with those to light up the place and keep it hoppin!!
